Heavy metals have been shown to negatively affect the growth of ectomycorrhizal fungi
(ECMF). In addition, ECMF have been shown to accumulate heavy metals and to protect …

Metals are toxic to both plants and fungi, and elevated soil metal concentrations have been
documented to change the structure of ectomycorrhizal communities. Mercury (Hg) is a …

The biotransformation of mercury was monitored in Hymenoscyphus ericae (Read) Korf &
Kernan, Neocosmospora vasinfecta EF Sm., and Verticillium terrestre (Link) Lindau …

A compartment cultivation system was developed to study the effect of cadmium (Cd) in soil
on the development of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) under the same host conditions …

Because of its lipophilic nature, methylmercury ac-cumulates much more efficientiy in
mammals than inor-ganic mercury and therefore has a greater toxic potential. For this …

Accumulation of mercury by, and the occurrence of methyl mercury in, some fungi (Journal
Article) | ETDEWEB home etdeweb img Made available by US Department of Energy Office of …

Mercury inhibits the growth of six wood-rotting basidiomycetes in different ways. Growth
rates on glucose-corn steep medium (0.1 mmol/L Hg) decreased to 6% of the control in …

The behavior of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi on exposure to cadmium dependent upon
isolation remains a poorly understood phenomenon. The in vitro growth, tolerance, and …

Scots pine seedlings colonized by ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi from natural soil inoculum
were exposed to a range of Cd or Zn concentrations to investigate the effects of metals on …

A number of ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, from sites uncontaminated by toxic metals, were
investigated to determine their sensitivity to Cd2+, Pb2+, Zn2+ and Sb3−, measured as an …
